Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0895307A2] A vibration-tolerant torque limiting fastening lug (100) whereupon tightening of the set-screw (104) produces a parasitic torque at the thread plane defining the setscrew/housing interface. The resultant parasitic torque acts in opposite direction to the installation torque such that the actual torque below the thread plane is less than the installation torque. As a result, the tensile force experienced by the set-screw (104) and which acts against the housing of the lug is reduced. <IMAGE>
